This morning I released v1.37.976 of wp-SwimTeam. This build addresses a bug which prevents the deletion of Event Groups and fixes several situations where dialog boxes were “floated” to the wrong place pushing them off the page to the right side.
You can find the latest version of wp-SwimTeam on the Download and Installation page or in the WordPress Plugin repository.
I’ve updated the beta version of WordPress Google Form v0.46 to beta-5 and made it available for download from this site. This beta update addresses an issue where content is floating to the wrong location. The addition of column support using jQuery Columnizer plugin injects several DIVs to wrap the column content and the DIVs which contain the columns are floated either left (default) or right. I have added some additional jQuery code to clear the floats at the end of the Google Form.
Download the beta release and please let me know if you run into any issues.
Google Forms Beta (8583 downloads )I’ve update the beta version of WordPress Google Form v0.46 to beta-4 and made it available for download from this site. This beta update addresses a bug when the plugin is activated.
Download the beta release and please let me know if you run into any issues.
Google Forms Beta (8583 downloads )This morning I made WordPress Google Form v0.46-beta-3 available for download from this site. I have not posted this version to the WordPress plugin repository as it still needs some testing. This beta release includes new checking to try and detect when the form data wasn’t actually posted to Google and if detected, will suppress the confirmation page (if used) so the Google error will not be missed by the user.
Download the beta release and please let me know if you run into any issues.
Google Forms Beta (8583 downloads )This evening I posted the beta-2 version of WordPress Google Form v0.46 for download from this site. I have not posted this version to the WordPress plugin repository as it needs some testing. This is a pretty significant change as beta-2 includes the new WordPress Google Form custom post type plus all of the features included in the last beta release.
Download the beta release and please let me know if you run into any issues.
Google Forms Beta (8583 downloads )As I noted a couple days ago, I have started a “renovation” of sorts to my WordPress Google Forms plugin. I have defined a Custom Post Type which makes it much easier to set up a form. It is no longer necessary to worry about the syntax of a long complicated short code! Here are a couple images of what the Dashboard UI looks like.
Adding a form to a post or page is as simple as adding the [wpgform id=’N’] short code where N maps to the form’s post id. The short code syntax for each Google Form appears in the list of forms.
The Google Form Edit Screen has fields which map directly to all of the short code attributes that were defined in the original short code.
There is no change of operation on the front end – the form should continue to operate as it has previously. If you’re interested in testing this new version, I hope to have a beta available fairly soon which also has some other new features.
Moving to a Custom Post Type may allow for some more robust field validation using the jQuery Validation plugin! Stay tuned for more details on that as I don’t think it will be in the first release of Custom Post Types.
This afternoon I released v4.3.15 of Email Users. This update includes a number of enhancements, some bug fixes, and a bunch of translation improvements. Thanks in particular to Ponç J. Llaneras for helping with the myriad of translation issues.
You can find the update on your Dashboard or in the WordPress Plugin Repository.
This morning I made a beta-6 version of Email Users v4.3.15 available for download from this site. I hope this is the final beta version before the final release. I am not aware of any outstanding bugs at this time. This latest beta version has some more tweaks to aid in translation.
Download the beta release and please let me know if you run into any issues.
Email Users Beta (5491 downloads )I have been thinking about migrating WordPress Google Form from a shortcode based solution to a Custom Post Type solution. Today I decided to move from thinking about it to acting on it. As I add more features the short code complexity has grown quite a bit. Because the short code contains URLs with special characters, the chance of introducing a syntax error is very high and it is by far the most common support request I receive.
There are a lot of benefits to adding a custom Post Type, among them:
I plan to retain the current short code syntax so existing installations will continue to work but will introduce a new short code (likely [wpgform id=’N’]) which can be used in place of the current short code. Over time I will likely deprecate the older short code but not anytime soon.
The primary reason I am doing this is my desire to connect Google Forms with PayPal which I think I can do using a hook in Woo Commerce. Having the Google Form as a very simple short code will help me do what I want to do (I think).
This evening I made a beta-4 beta-5 version of Email Users v4.3.15 available for download from this site. I still hope to incorporate as many translation package updates as I can before the final release. This latest beta version has some more tuning to aid in translation.
Download the beta release and please let me know if you run into any issues.
